We are excited for our brushwork lesson #23! This homeschool handicraft project is from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and is called Design of Mountain Ash. It features five prominent branches, with designs of feathery, compound leaves and bright orange-red berries, each a hallmark of the mountain ash tree. If you've been following along with us in our Brushwork Series, you're going to find this lovely design to be easy and incredibly rewarding. Our Grid Paper With most of our brushwork lessons, we have adapted the grid paper design in the book to our own grid paper. For...

Our homeschool handicraft project for today is brushwork lesson #22 from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. This lesson is called a Lesson on Mountain Ash, featuring feathery, compound leaves and bright orange-red berries. By now in our brushwork series, we are really moving beyond the nitty-gritty, practice part. Painting actual flowers, leaves, branches, and other parts of nature, makes this handicraft even more enjoyable and meaningful. Our Grid Paper With most of our brushwork lessons, we have adapted the grid paper design in the book to our own grid paper. For this lesson, I decided to...

Today's homeschool handicraft project is Lesson #21 in our brushwork series from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork Lesson #21 is a Design of Ivy, and is a really beautiful way to practice that the brush forms and ivy that we learned in Lesson #20. Once you start painting ivy with its' creeping vines and 5-star leaves, you won't be able to stop! Redrawing the Design on Our Grid Paper Your grid paper is probably going to be different than that in the book. I say this because I looked everywhere for grid paper that was similar to the...

Today for our homeschool handicraft lesson, we are going to make a clay model of a poppy capsule. We are working our way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. The poppy capsule is model #32, and once again, presented a real challenge to find! First of all, it's wintertime, and secondly, I've never seen an actual poppy grow near us. So, in what appears to be our norm, we found an alternate solution - a dried seed capsule of some sort. Along with a few pictures, we were able to make a poppy capsule....
